I tested Cinebench r20 several times to increase temperatures on my new H100i. The block temperature is 28.70°C, while the processor runs at 61.25°C during rendering. This is typical. If you're looking for reference values, the idle block temp is around 27.9°C and the CPU is usually between 44–45°C under load. Your turbo settings are within normal range for such performance.

I noticed some warmth escaping from the radiator and you can also hear the pump operating, indicating water is moving through it.

It looks quite typical to you. Your block temperature stays much lower than your CPU temperature because the block is directly exposed to the coolant, while on your CPU the heat travels from the die to the IHS and through thermal paste to reach the cooler’s cold side. The only situation where it rises noticeably is when you’ve been running demanding tasks for a prolonged period, causing the coolant to warm up. If you’re trying to monitor your CPU temperature, it’s best to refer to the CPU package documentation.

Thanks a lot! I was actually examining it more carefully and noticed the block was misaligned. When I touched it, it came out easily like popcorn. After cleaning it and repositioning it with fresh thermal paste, I double-checked for evenness. The temperatures are still close, but based on what you mentioned, I’ll probably wait until there’s a problem before doing anything else.
